Dulwich College unveils net-zero library honoring Raymond Chandler’s legacy
Dulwich College has opened a new library named after one of its most notable alumni. The Raymond Chandler Library forms part of the school’s ongoing expansion and sustainability efforts. Designed to be operationally net zero carbon, it reflects the institution’s long-term commitment to modernising its historic campus.
Founded in 1619, Dulwich College is an independent boys’ school in south London. It educates both day pupils and boarders aged between 2 and 18. The school’s main buildings, designed by Charles Barry Junior, were completed in 1869, but expansion has continued over the centuries.
The new library adds to Dulwich College’s long list of modern facilities while honouring its past. Notable alumni include explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, and writer Raymond Chandler, after whom the building is named. The project marks another step in the school’s evolution, blending heritage with forward-thinking design.
